Did you know, normal cells in our body contain 23 pairs of chromosomes? However, up to 3% of all cancers – including some blood and brain cancers - contain giant, extra chromosomes which might help the cancer to survive and grow. For the first time, #Australian #researchers have discovered that these giant DNA molecules are formed like Frankenstein’s monster, stitched together from other parts of the genome. This discovery provides important information on how these types of cancer first develop, and potentially, how best to treat them. #breastcancer #research medicalnewstoday/releases/285021.php
